Celebrities aren’t exactly pouring out of Jacksonville, Florida but that’s only made Roland Powell’s grind more ferocious. Proclaiming himself “Lil Duval” after the county from which he hails, he has literally put his home turf on his back as he touches every nook and cranny available with his special brand of humor.
Some
comedians work at making people laugh. Others just do. Born with the
gift to make people laugh, Lil Duval explains that, for him, “comedy was
a natural thing. People always found me funny. It wasn’t that I was
trying to be funny; they just found me funny.”
Participating in
pep rallies in high school and other activities where all eyes were on
him really kicked Lil Duval into high gear. The limelight just suited
him and he wanted more. “I heard them screaming for me and I was like
‘oh yeah, this is what I need to be doing,’” he smiles. “I knew I would
be in entertainment because I felt like an entertainer.”
Ultimately, he envisioned himself on the big screen and particularly
admired the work of Chris Tucker. That’s how he got into comedy
actually. “I saw Chris Tucker on Friday and I was like ‘that’s what I
want to do.’ Then I saw him on Def Comedy Jam so I was like ‘oh that’s
the way you do it. You become a stand-up comedian and you’ll be in the
movies.’ That’s how it started to build.”
Not one to waste
time, Lil Duval went right at it, taking to the stage of Atlanta’s
legendary Uptown Comedy Corner. Pretty soon, he was a regular there as
well as any other spots with a microphone and people ready to laugh. A
hilarious 2001 performance at a contest in Oakland caught the attention
of Cedric the Entertainer’s camp and Lil Duval was invited to hit the
road with Cedric and four other comedians. That successful run on the
road led to a featured spot on Cedric the Entertainer: Starting Lineup,
first televised and then released on DVD.
During the tour, Lil
Duval developed his signature routine “Stalker’s Anthem (Bitch U Mine).”
Set to Musiq Soulchild’s 2000 hit “Just Friends,” Lil Duval twists the
original song, which preaches about taking it slow and making the girl
comfortable, into a pressure-filled encounter at a club: “Girl I know
this might sound strange/But let me know if I’m outta order, steppin to
you this way/See I been buying you drinks for a while/And I’ll let you
know . . . . Bitch U Mine!”
A forever hustler, Lil Duval stayed
on the road, slanging his brand of humor. Along the way, he also
released two underground comedy DVDs: Dat Boy Funny (2003) and Put Your
Hands on Me (2005). Additionally, he appeared in Three 6 Mafia’s Choices
II: The Setup as well as hot videos like T.I.’s “Rubberband Man,”
“24s,” “Whatever You Like” and Yung Joc’s “It’s Goin Down” and “Coffee
Shop.”
Most recently, he’s added Twitter to his campaign and
regularly dispenses his thoughts via @lilduval as raw and witty as only
he can. So much so that he now has over 260,000 followers. It’s Lil
Duval’s ability to ride the current and know what people want that keeps
him winning. “I was always on the internet. It’s just like in the
streets,” he explains. “When new dope comes out, if you want to stay
popping in the streets, you go with the new dope. When people were still
on MySpace, I was popular on MySpace. I had like a 100,000 friends. The
new thing is Twitter.”
Embracing the new is indeed a part of
Lil Duval’s make-up but he prides himself most on staying true to
himself. “I stay in my own lane. I don’t do what anybody else is doing. I
try to do what I’m doing. I like to be the one that’s being followed
instead of following someone else. There’s no blueprint to this shit so I
mean, when you follow somebody else’s blueprint, just because it worked
for them, doesn’t mean it’ll work for you.”
That sense of
originality is one of the reasons Lil Duval attracted the attention of
hip-hop’s reigning king early on. A fan since 2001, when Duval first
started wrecking stages, T.I. didn’t hesitate later on to add Lil Duval
to his label Grand Hustle’s comedy roster. "He's someone who says what
everyone else is thinking and scared to say,” shares T.I. “He talks
about life's most difficult and embarrassing moments. To take these
things and find ways to make people laugh, especially when folks see fit
to cry, is comedy at its finest."
Duval can currently be seen
on the MTV series Guy Code, but he’s not done yet. “Everything that you
can do and even more that hasn’t been done yet” is a serious goal for
him. “Whatever it is the people want me to do, I’m going to do it. And,
I’m going to be the best at it,” he promises, refusing to rest until he
reaches the pinnacle of “comedy at its finest.”
